PREMIER LEAGUE Former England international Paul Parker launches attack on Marcus Rashford

Rashford has "ruined everything" and has fed up people amidst a disastrous season according to a two-time Premier League winner.

Former England international Paul Parker has teared into Marcus Rashford after he found himself in trouble for missing training last Friday before it emerged he was on a drunken spree in Belfast.

He would subsequently miss the trip to Newport County and has been in the spotlight ever since.

After showdown talks on Monday, United said Rashford had "taken responsibility" for his actions and been disciplined, but was available for selection. It was still a surprise to see him in the starting XI at Wolves.

But if he felt he owed people a performance he began to deliver inside five minutes. When Rasmus Hojlund teed him up for the shot from the edge of the area the chance was still a difficult one, but Rashford picked his spot beautifully, leaving Jose Sa with no chance.

It was just his second league goal of the season in their eventual 4-3 win at the Moleneaux , which largely contrasts to his brilliant season last year where he scored 30 goals in all competitions, proving why critics have been extremely far from impressed with his inconsistency.

One of those critics is Parker, a former United right back himself who made 105 league appearances for the club and won two league titles.

“He is one of those persons who can’t think on his own, so he has to be dictated and he has been dictated in a wrong direction, really,” Parker scathed in an inteview with MyBettingSites

Parker claims the decision to have his family represent and do everything for him is a miscalculated move that historically never works, with Ronaldinho and Neymar examples.

“Look at Ronaldinho and Neymar, who were managed by their family. It didn’t turn out that well in the end, and Rashford doesn’t have the level they did, so he needs better advice more than anyone.”

“He has a huge status, and he should be near the top of the tree right now, but he has never been managed properly.”

 “I think he has to look at the people he has around him. Have they helped him? Not really.

“He is surrounded by the wrong people. He is working with his family, and they are not good at helping him.”

Parker has unsurprisingly torn into Rashford for his behavior last week, claiming he is tired of his constant inconsistencies.

“I’m fed up with Rashford to be honest. What were I thinking? I was shocked. You have to be shocked, really. On the other hand you shouldn’t be shocked because that’s just what he does.

“He is a local boy and everyone is expecting him to behave better. He is just carrying on what he has done for a lot of years.

“He was given an incredible contract and now he is just enjoying his life. He was at a good level during the pandemic but he has ruined everything now. People were still backing him but the majority are just fed up with him now.”
